Olivia Newton-John, who played Sandy in ‘Grease,’ dies at 73
Associated PressNEW YORK — Olivia Newton-John, the Grammy-winning superstar who reigned on pop, country, adult contemporary and dance charts with such hits as “Physical” and “You’re the One That I Want” and won countless hearts as everyone’s favorite Sandy in the blockbuster film version of “Grease,” has died. “Physical” even made Newton-John blush as she told her would-be lover “There’s nothing left to talk about/Unless it’s horizontally” and finally called out “Let’s get animal! We will miss her dearly.” Gabrielle Union said she and her sister watched “Xanadu” “more times than I could count.” Australia’s acting Prime Minister Richard Marles described her death as feeling like the end of an era for a generation who grew up watching “Grease” and said, “It feels like the world is a little emptier without Olivia Newton-John as a part of it.” She had a few hits after “Physical,” but her career declined and Newton-John became more likely to make news because of her private life. “He was lost at sea, and nobody really knows what happened,” Newton-John told Australia’s “60 Minutes” in 2016.
